With Shakespeare, Burns is an icon for the UK and Scotland he is a national symbol. This volume of poems and songs is a best selling, beautiful edition of his work.

]]> The Complete Poems and Songs of Robert Burns is a collection of poetical works, the scope of which is as varied as it is entertaining. Burns, the “ploughman poet,” could write as easily about politics, history, Scottish nationalism, hatred for pomposity and social disadvantage, and the excitement of having illicit love affairs (of which he had many) as he could about nature and an admiration of beauty. This book contains the complete poems and songs of this remarkable man, with an introduction to and chronology of his life, a glossary of Scots words and indexes of title and first lines.
